Family Advocacy at Easterseals of Northeast Ohio

Empowering Families. Amplifying Voices. Navigating Systems Together.

We understand that caring for a child or adult with special needs can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating complex systems like education, healthcare, or social services. Our Family Advocacy Services are here to support, guide, and empower families every step of the way.

We have partnered with the Autism Society of the Mahoning Valley to provide this advocacy. Their staff are onsite and can assist families with the following:

  1. Education and empowerment
  2. Navigating systems
  3. Individual advocacy
  4. Emotional and peer support
  5. Transition support
